ANAHEIM -- The Angels, in a joint venture with the Angels Baseball Foundation and AM 830 KLAA, will host their annual Children's Holiday Party at the ESPN Zone in Downtown Disney on Wednesday from 4-6 p.m. PT.

More than 200 children from various groups in the Orange County area -- including Eli Home, Olive Crest Kristie's Foundation, Kidworks, Orangewood Children's Home and several local Boys & Girls Clubs -- will get the chance to hear Christmas stories and collect autographs from members of the Angels.

The kids also will receive an Angels hat and shirt, a special gift collected by Angels fans during the club's Halo Holiday Photo toy drive and a visit from Santa Claus. ESPN Zone will provide dinner and game credits, as well.

New Angels pitchers Joe Blanton and Sean Burnett, who agreed to two-year contracts last week, had their physical examination on Tuesday and will be introduced to the media at the ESPN Zone at 11:30 a.m. The news conference will be streamed live on FOX Sports West, but neither of the two events will be open to the public.
